The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

The speed of the Sage Chakra Ray was too fast; even if Itachi used Substitution Jutsu and Shadow Clone Jutsu, he wouldn't have enough time to react.

What's more, Hinata also has the Byakugan.

Itachi didn't know if Hinata had any techniques that could block Amaterasu, and he didn't want to use that move.

Hinata's devastating attack from the sky sent Itachi Uchiha and his Susanoo's ribcage flying into the river.

Itachi felt an intense pain in his eyes, with bloodshot veins covering the whites of his eyes.

We must finish this quickly!

With ordinary ninjutsu ineffective, Tsukuyomi unusable, and Amaterasu unavailable, Itachi Uchiha's only option for a quick victory was to use Susanoo.

Itachi didn't want to reveal the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror so early; they were his last trump cards, and using them here would be a waste.

"Yasaka no Magatama"

Beneath the river, Itachi Uchiha instantly activated his second form, 'Susanoo'. Three giant tomoe condensed in Susanoo's hand and were hurled at Hinata like shuriken.

This is Itachi Uchiha's strongest long-range attack ninjutsu at present.

All of this could not escape Hinata's Byakugan's keen observation.

Hinata simultaneously unleashed both Sage Mode chakra fists.

Wang fried!

The five Sage Art chakra beams merged into one, making this Hinata's strongest long-range attack ninjutsu to date.

'boom--'

The massive explosion instantly overturned the river, blasted a huge crater into the riverbank, and sent river water flying into the air, falling like a torrential downpour.

These tips for ninja battles only apply to battles involving ninjas below the rank of Jonin.

It might also be useful for film-level films.

However, if someone, like Hinata, keeps using their ultimate move as a basic attack, the other side will also have to use their ultimate move to counter it.

Chapter 109 I'm still too weak

With Kakashi's arrival, the battle between Asuma, Kurenai, and Kisame has gained a complete advantage.

That will be the case, at least in the short term.

Kisame's large-scale water jutsu is too flashy.

Although Kisame is also a 'chattor' type ninja, his ninjutsu is not as focused on attacking a single point as Hinata's.

The characteristics of water-style ninjutsu are either magical, like the Fourth Mizukage Yagura's 'Water Mirror Technique', which creates a clone that is exactly the same as the enemy and can use the same ninjutsu as the opponent, and with the same power.

Either they rely on a large number of people, like Kisame Hoshigaki.

The three-on-one battle was fierce, but the overwhelming river water instantly extinguished the four's passion.

Both sides stopped fighting simultaneously.

Hinata also stood next to Kakashi and the other two, facing Itachi and Kisame on the opposite side.

Itachi had recovered his three-tomoe form, and was breathing slightly heavily, his eyes twitching occasionally, clearly enduring immense pain.

Hinata's chakra was already more than half depleted. If Itachi had continued fighting, Hinata would have been the first to give out.

Hinata's ultimate move already consumes a lot of chakra, and Hinata used it four times in a row.

Hinata's chakra will be depleted after four more uses at most.

The battle started suddenly and ended just as quickly, lasting less than thirty seconds in total.

Hinata also truly experienced the power of Itachi Uchiha.

Hinata is aware of Itachi Uchiha's power.

Forget about Tsukuyomi; Itachi Uchiha at least didn't use Amaterasu, and his Susanoo wasn't fully activated either. He also didn't use the Totsuka Blade or the Yata Mirror.

If Itachi Uchiha went all out, Hinata doubted she could last thirty seconds.

What frustrated Hinata the most was that her ultimate move still couldn't break through Susanoo, especially since it was Susanoo in its rib skeleton form.

Its attack power is still somewhat insufficient.

It seems I need to cultivate to Immortal Mode as soon as possible.

Moreover, the ultimate move needs to be upgraded in power as soon as possible.

The Eighty Gods Void Strike requires the use of ocular techniques to complement it. It is a bloodline limit that brings Yin-Yang Release to its extreme, and it also possesses the power of the Divine Tree Chakra.

Shaking the sky with the power of immortality, a fist that combines offense and defense, showing no mercy!

The fists surged like a tidal wave, so densely packed that there wasn't even a chance for a mouse to escape.

These are all things that Hinata lacks.

But Hinata now at least knows the direction she should strive for in the future.

Currently, in addition to improving her basic skills, Hinata also needs to master Sage Mode as soon as possible.

Once Hinata enters Sage Mode, she can use Sage Chakra at will, which greatly increases her attack rhythm.

Furthermore, the Sage Mode will greatly enhance all aspects of one's attributes.

Kisame, seeing Itachi's somewhat disheveled state, asked with concern, "Itachi, are you alright? If you overuse that eye, won't you be in danger?"

Itachi didn't reply, but his gaze remained fixed on Hinata.

Hinata had already opened her eyes, but her Byakugan was still active. If Itachi's chakra fluctuated even slightly, Hinata would immediately close her eyes.

"I know I'm cute, but could you please stop staring at me like that?"

Hinata felt a little embarrassed by the stares.

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

"I didn't expect you to have become so strong!"

Itachi's voice was flat, devoid of any emotion, yet it seemed to convey a strange signal to Hinata.

Hinata remained focused during the battle, calmly watching Itachi Uchiha as she awaited his next words.

However, Itachi Uchiha simply wanted to praise Hinata...

Kakashi glanced casually at Uchiha Itachi, and asked as if meeting an old friend, "Tell me your purpose?"

Itachi paused for a moment, then said calmly, "We came here to find something."

Looking for something?

Kakashi asked calmly, "Are you here to see Sasuke?"

"No!" Itachi Uchiha said in a deep voice, "I'm looking for the legacy left by the Fourth Hokage!"

Is that Naruto...?

Kakashi thought of his conversation with Jiraiya a while ago.

Jiraiya, while tracking Orochimaru, discovered an organization composed entirely of S-rank rogue ninja—the Akatsuki!

Jiraiya has already uncovered some clues, and the Akatsuki organization is gathering information on the Tailed Beasts in a comprehensive manner.

Kakashi asked in a deep voice, "Is the Nine-Tails you're looking for sealed inside Naruto?"

“I know it’s not just the two of you who are acting; your organization… is ‘Akatsuki’, right?”

Itachi Uchiha remained silent for a moment. This much information about the organization had already been revealed. If he continued, Kisame would inevitably become suspicious.

Kakashi is just a bit too silly!

If you know it, you know it; why do you have to say it out loud?

How am I, a spy, supposed to conduct myself?

Itachi Uchiha wanted to say something, but Hinata was standing right in front of him. Unless he used all his trump cards, he felt he lacked confidence no matter what he said.

Kisame gritted his teeth and sneered, "Looks like you know quite a bit. Well then, I'll just have to take you back to the organization!"

"Fine, Kisame!"

Itachi Uchiha said calmly, "We didn't come here to fight. Although it's a bit of a shame, there's no point in staying here any longer. Besides... your techniques are too flashy!"

Kisame complained, "I finally managed to get my blood pumping, and... Samehada too..."

Itachi Uchiha remained silent, and Kisame swallowed back what he was about to say.

If the fighting continues, it will really attract a large number of Konoha ninja.

Moreover... they just saw Naruto at the ramen shop, and Jiraiya stayed by Naruto's side.

'Swish! Swish!'

Itachi and Kisame simultaneously used Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Hinata turned to Kakashi and asked, "Kakashi-sensei, aren't we going to chase after them?"

Kakashi shook his head slightly: "Forget it! At this time... it's not suitable for the village to fight against powerful enemies anymore."

Kakashi may have sensed something. Itachi's words just now revealed too much information, which is not something a good ninja should say.

"OK then!"

Hinata didn't care and shrugged, saying, "Since we're not going to chase anymore, then I'm taking back my spoils!"

The most exciting thing is fighting monsters and getting loot.

Kakashi was taken aback. He had arrived a bit late and had no idea what other spoils of war he might have.

"What spoils of war?"

Asuma explained, "It's Samehada, one of the Seven Swords of Kirigakure. It was knocked away by Hinata and landed in the forest."

Hinata, with her Byakugan activated, skipped into the tree and pulled Samehada out.

"I'm going back now. I haven't eaten the dumplings I bought at the dumpling shop yet. It would be such a waste if I didn't go back soon."

"Goodbye, Kakashi-sensei, Asuma-sensei, Kurenai-sensei!"
